: Fire is treated as an "accidental action," meaning we don't expect it to happen every day, so we allow for different safety margins than for normal wind or weight. The Evolution of the "Design Fire" They are easy to use but often unrealistic

: Using Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to "see" exactly how smoke and heat move.
: Used when a fire only affects one corner of a massive warehouse.
Historically, fire design was —you just had to survive a standard furnace test (the ISO 834 curve) for 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Eurocode 1 revolutionized this by offering two paths: Nominal Fires (The Old Way) :
